The quality of life of the second generation immigrants in the United States is much higher.

The living conditions of the second-generation immigrants in the United States are much better than those of the first generation. Whether in terms of education level or family income, more and more second-generation immigrants are integrated into the mainstream society, which shows that immigrants in the past have lived quite well. Don't worry about those who are worried that they can't adapt! Anything is possible as long as you have confidence.

Children who grow up in immigrant families are often confused and confused about their identity because of the influence of different cultures. Some people become so-called American-born China? However, more and more second-generation immigrants get rid of the identity problem and actively integrate into the mainstream society, just like the Li Nan school mentioned earlier. The Pew Research Center of the United States recently conducted a survey and analysis on the living and working conditions of 20 million adults of the second generation immigrants in the United States for the first time, and found that the second generation immigrants are much better than their parents in terms of income and education. In terms of median household income, the annual income of the second generation immigrants has reached 58 100, nearly 30% higher than that of the first generation; From the education level, 36% of the second-generation immigrants have college education or above, which is 5 percentage points higher than the national average and 7 percentage points higher than the first-generation immigrants.

Since the 1960s, there have been about 2.48 million first-generation Chinese immigrants in the United States, accounting for 1/5 of Asian immigrants. It is the largest immigrant group among Asians, second only to Mexican immigrants. From 1960s to 1980s, China people mainly from Taiwan Province Province and Hongkong came to the United States, and most of their children have grown up now. Mainland immigrants began to go to the United States on a large scale only after the 1980s, and most of their children were underage. There are 2.4 million second-generation immigrants in Asia, 55% of whom have a college degree or above, the median family income is $67,500, the poverty rate is 12%, and 5 1% own their own houses. These indicators are basically the same as those of the first generation immigrants, with a slight improvement. This is mainly because many first-generation Asian immigrants stayed in the United States after studying in the United States, with a relatively high starting point. Therefore, compared with the first generation, the second generation of Chinese immigrants have not improved as much in economy and education as Hispanics. However, in terms of career choice, there are more Chinese second-generation white-collar jobs in technology and management, rather than blue-collar jobs such as restaurants, grocery stores, cleaning and maintenance.

The Pew Research Center's research report found that the greater difference between the second generation of immigrants and the first generation of immigrants is that they are more integrated into American society. Only 30% of first-generation Hispanic and Asian immigrants will consider themselves? Typical American? And 60% of second-generation immigrants think they are? Typical American? They agree with American social culture more, although most people will not forget their ancestral roots. More than 90% of the second-generation immigrants can speak fluent English and have more friends outside their own ethnic groups. Cross-ethnic marriage accounts for 15%, which is nearly twice the national average. They are more involved in mainstream affairs than their parents, and more people start to go into politics, which can be seen from the fact that most Chinese American officials are second-generation and later immigrants. These also show that American society has really played a role in immigration? Furnace? The role of.

The integration of new immigrants into American society is actually easier said than done. The first thing to be solved is the language problem, followed by the work problem. Here, I wish all American immigrants happiness!
